The Mowhay

Nestled in the rural hamlet of Crugmeer, surrounded by glorious countryside yet only a 15-minute walk to Cornwall’s dramatic north coast and a mile from Cornwall’s foodie hotspot of Padstow, The Mowhay serves up the perfect mix of rural bliss, coastal adventures and culinary delights.

Wind your way along the country lane to uncover this charming homestay, waiting to treat up to five guests and your tail-wagging companion, to a wonderful escape in this special part of the county where treasured memories are sure to be made. Whitewashed throughout and flawlessly curated with pared-back simplicity, semi-detached The Mowhay is set all on one level, with just one exception - the winsome twin bedroom upstairs. Set under the eaves, it is sure to be claimed by younger members of the party.

The kitchen/dining-room is the place for all to gather, where the designated chef can rustle up that all important ‘full English’, with fresh produce purchased from the local farm shop - and when we say ‘local’, we mean local, it’s only a five minute walk down the road! The open fire in the sitting-room will be a very welcome sight on those out-of-season breaks, when you need to rest weary legs after a day out exploring. Patio doors extend the living space outdoors where the wonderful garden and terrace give way to views across the open countryside and the ocean beyond. It's a haven for outdoor living, ideal for leisurely lunches, garden games, afternoon reading, cooking flamed grilled feasts on the barbecue and gathering around the fire-pit under the stars.

And when the stars appear and bedtime beckons, off to bed you trot. A huge Emperor bed awaits the lucky guests in the main bedroom, it’s the perfect excuse for a morning lie-in and next door is the sweet single room with the family bathroom close by.
